Shelly's 9th birthday

Today was a very special day. My English Cocker Spaniel Shelly was celebrating her 9th birthday. And what would a birthday be without a cake, or in this case a vegan cupcake?

I made her cupcake using the strawberry cupcake recipe from the Happy Herbivore's cookbook, but instead of vanilla frosting with strawberries I frosted her cupcake with her favorite peanut butter. She went for the frosting first, of course :-)

I got her a cute present, a doggie donut with miniature cupcakes :-)

And daddy got her a squeaky quail that sounds like a duck :-)

Shelly enjoyed her birthday cupcake and gifts very much. Am I a dork for making a birthday cupcake for my dog? Am I crazy for celebrating my dog's birthday? Do you celebrate your cats and dogs birthdays?

About Me

I am a Czech Vegan living in America. I am working on my first vegan cookbook. On this blog I share my recipes, my thoughts on vegan living, vegan products reviews and other fun things. Two of my recipes were published in the Vegetarian Times magazine, as winning recipes in their recipe contests (November/December 2010 issue and September 2012 issue) and another recipe was published by Eating Well in the cookbook EatingWell Fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals: 150 Healthy Recipes Everyone Will Love (2011), and Eating Well magazine (August 2012 issue).
I love cooking and baking, running, and I enjoy veganizing Czech and American recipes. I am an animal rescuer, chocoholic and a tea lover.
I would like to mention that some of the products that I talk about on my blog were generously given to me with no obligation to write a positive review. If you make vegan products and want them to be featured and reviewed on my blog, let me know. You can email me at czechvegan (at) yahoo.com. My old email address czech.vegan (at) yahoo.com was compromised so I can no longer access it.
